Renegade Immortal

‘Could it be that our Soul Refining Sect will never rise again! Day, the possibility of the continuation of the hyperactivity... **The middle-aged man seemed to be crazy and laughed miserably, but at this moment, his expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly turned back and looked into the distance.

"Hey!" His eyes narrowed, and he immediately made a hand gesture and began to calculate wildly.

"This is...passed...passed...the man's expression changed rapidly. In this short moment, he consumed a lot of longevity vitality and counted nine times in a row, but the results of all nine times were the same!

This was a conclusion that he found unbelievable and even a bit absurd!

In the silence, his body swayed and disappeared without a trace. (Provided by Mo Xiaoshou's team) However, he used the movement technique to go straight to Zhao Kingdom.

In a county town in Zhao State, the world was quiet. Only Wang Lin, who was standing in front of the window on the second floor of an inn in the county town, his murmuring voice echoed faintly.

"Cause and effect, what is...cause and effect..."

The night passed slowly, and Wang Lin returned to the table without knowing when, looking at the extinguished candlestick, silently in a daze, the voice that existed before in his mind kept swirling, gradually replacing everything.

He forgot to close the window. There was no wind or rain at this moment. As the sky brightened and the sun rose, its light enveloped the earth. People who got up early were surprised to find that all the dark clouds that had filled the sky for more than half a month disappeared in this early morning.

There were no clouds in the bright sky, and the sunlight fell softly on the body, making the almost rusty body suddenly glow with vitality.

It seems that this year's summer has come earlier, and it seems that this year's rainy season has receded faster.

Dafu also woke up, rubbed his eyes, and when he saw the sky outside the window, he immediately smiled happily, pointed out the window proudly, and shouted loudly to Wang Lin.

"I had a dream last night. I dreamed that when I pointed my finger, the thunder dissipated. Haha, I am the best." Humph, it seems that I am not an ordinary person. Alas, what a pity. "

Wang Lin's thoughts were slowly hidden in his mind when the sky was bright. He didn't sleep all night, but he didn't feel any fatigue, but the pain between his eyebrows was faintly felt.

He rubbed his eyebrows and glanced at Dafu. After seeing the smile on his face, he felt happy.

"You are so powerful. You dreamed of going to heaven and making the thunderstorm disappear. That's it. ...

Dafu was quite excited.

Even more proud.

Time flies, and the county's imperial examination will be held in five days. The scholars who came here, after five tense days of waiting, in the early morning of the sixth day, under the still sunny sky, came from all residences. He walked out of the inn and rushed to the various examination rooms in the county.

In the past five days, Wang Lin had hardly left the inn except to go to the county government office to deliver the road test papers and queue up for the examination room. Instead, he took all the time to study and make final preparations. He was also very nervous. If he passed the exam this time, he would , you can continue. But if it fails, then everything will have to start all over again, and you will have to go back to the village and wait silently for another scientific examination in a few years.

Wang Lin didn't want to fail. He couldn't bear to see the gloomy eyes of his parents, and he didn't want to let his parents feel the looks of comfort but actually ridicule in front of relatives who looked above their heads because of his failure.

In five days, Dafu couldn't hold it in anymore. He had a restless temper. Provided by Mo Xiaoshou's team) When Wang Lin was studying, he went out by himself and wandered around the county. Gradually, he got to know some people and learned to be more stingy. ability.

On the sixth day, Wang Lin took a bath and burned incense, put on a white scholar's shirt, took a deep breath, and walked out of the inn with Dafu, who was carrying a bamboo bookcase, and walked towards the examination room.

What he was going to was the third examination room, in the west of the county... The streets on the road were very lively, and there were many morning stalls on both sides. The vendors had left their stalls early, so that the scholars who were rushing to take the exam could sit in their stalls. Buy some food there.

At a glance, there are many scholars rushing to take exams on the street. They are all in a hurry, worried or nervous. Even when they eat, they only take a few mouthfuls and then leave quickly.

Wang Lin took a few deep breaths and slowly calmed down. After eating a few steamed buns, he and Dafu came to the outside of the examination room. There were many people here, densely packed, but there was no noise. Most of them were in silence. Rest your eyes and mind, and recall the books you read in your mind.

Two officials in brocade robes looked at the candidates indifferently outside. Because of their presence (provided by Mo Xiaoshou's team), a solemn atmosphere gradually filled the place. Wang Lin stood there calmly, looking at Looking at the sky in the examination room, my mind slowly calmed down completely.

Dafu behind him was looking around, but his expression was gloomy. He saw that most of the other students were young, and in comparison, he seemed a little out of place.

After muttering a few words, Dafu took out the bun and took a few bites.

Not long after, the exam time came, and the sound of bells ringing seemed to come from afar. This sound echoed throughout the county, giving off a heavy feeling.

As soon as the bell rang, the scholars who had closed their eyes opened their eyes one by one, their expressions solemn, and their nervousness suddenly resurfaced.

"Enter the examination room! If there are cheat sheets, take them out by yourself. If you are discovered, you will not be disqualified." One of the brocade-robed officials rolled his eyelids and spoke slowly.

As these scholars enter the examination room one by one, almost everyone will be searched to confirm that there is no plagiarism before they are put in.

The same was true when it came to Wang Lin. After checking the bamboo bookcase and other items, he was allowed to enter.

Dafu waved to Wang Lin outside and shouted loudly. Even if there were people around him frowning in disgust, he didn't care at all.

Wang Lin showed a smile on his face, waved to Dafu outside, and turned around to go in.

After finding the seat with his name written on it, Wang Lin sat down calmly. Under the watchful eye of the exam supervisor, all the candidates who sat down opened the rice paper on the table and concentrated their concentration.

It wasn't until the supervisor took out the question paper for this scientific examination that had been sealed by Huo Tao that the sound of rustling writing echoed not long after.

Wang Lin polished the ink calmly and looked at the rice paper in front of him, but he didn't write for a long time. The scientific examination lasted a whole day, which was very relaxed, leaving enough time for thinking.

Slowly, those scholars who were meditating like Wang Lin also had their thoughts, one by one (provided by Mo Xiaoshou group), and started writing. In the end, only Wang Lin was left sitting there in the entire examination room, still thinking. .

The topic of the scientific examination at the moment is a picture. The picture is very simple. There is only a mountain. There is a big straight tree on the mountain. There seems to be wind in the sky, and the tree seems to be shaking when it blows.

A few strokes of outline at the foot of the mountain seem to have a house guarding the mountain.

The concept of this painting is very clear, and it refers to the four words "a pillar of strength". Almost all candidates can see that most of the articles they write are centered around these four words.

But when Wang Lin saw the painting, the voice that echoed five days ago faintly resurfaced in his mind again.

"Cause and effect... what is... cause and effect..."

Time passed slowly, and it was noon in the blink of an eye. Someone had already finished writing the article, blowing on the remaining wet ink on the rice paper, looking happy, shaking his head slightly and thinking silently in his heart.

Only Wang Lin still sat there silently, with confusion in his eyes, and never started writing. Such things were rare, and the supervisors couldn't help but look at Wang Lin a few more times.

Gradually, people left the examination room one after another, either feeling proud or feeling disappointed (provided by Mo Xiaoshou Group). After leaving here, they left far away in the company of book boys or alone.

The sunset gradually set, and the entire examination room became slightly darker. There was not much time left before the end. There was only less than half an hour left. Except for Wang Lin, the last scholar also stood up with a sigh and looked at Wang before leaving. Lin glanced at it, shook his head and left.

"If you can't do it, leave quickly and don't waste time." A supervisor frowned, walked to Wang Lin, and knocked on the table with his right hand.

Wang Lin did not raise his head, but closed his eyes. After a few breaths, he opened them suddenly. He raised his right hand and licked some water stains like ink. After taking a pen and dipping some ink, his eyes showed a bright light. Start writing quickly on the rice paper.

"What is cause and effect? ​​If you are looking for a house tree, but there are no trees in this mountain, I will plant a tree alone. I will pick the branches at the beginning of the day, the wood at the middle of the day, and the lessons at sunset..." Wang Lin seemed to have forgotten everything around him, echoing in his mind. The vicissitudes of voice brought to mind the paintings I saw in the morning, and I kept writing down my thoughts and confusions.

"Huh?" The supervisor standing next to Wang Lin glanced at it briefly, then was startled and looked at it carefully. Even the other supervisors not far away were attracted by the soft voice and came over to take a look. At this glance, some of them sneered and walked away. After a while, the other people also shook their heads and walked away.

"...What is cause and effect? ​​Planting wood is the cause, and taking the wood is the fruit...But the day the house becomes beautiful, it also becomes a cause and effect..."

Wang Lin put down his pen and took a deep look. The brightness in his eyes dissipated, replaced by confusion. With a sigh, he gave a fist to the old supervisor who was the only supervisor standing behind him, packed up the bamboo raft, and walked out of the examination room.

After he left, the old supervisor picked up Wang Lin's pen and ink rice paper (provided by Mo Xiaoshou group) and read it again carefully. There was a daze in his eyes, as if he had understood something and remembered it. Wang Lin's name was on the examination paper.

"Such thinking about cause and effect can actually appear in a young man. This person may not become a pillar of the imperial court, but he can become a great scholar!" The old supervisor pondered for a long time, picked up a pen, and wrote in Wang Lin's book A circle is drawn over the name.

Wang Lin walked out of the examination room and immediately saw Dafu, who was leaning against a tree outside after waiting all day and sleeping soundly. A smile appeared on his face. He walked to Dafu and was about to wake him up. But at this moment, the sky and the earth suddenly darkened, and there was a strong wind. Under the shrill sounds of ghosts crying, a black wind suddenly fell from the sky and directly enveloped Wang Lin and Dafu, seeming to separate their place from this place. The county is divided.

In the dark wind, a middle-aged man wearing a black robe appeared and a cold aura filled his body. (Provided by Mo Xiaoshou Team) He stared at Wang Lin with his eyes.

"I won't hurt you, you just need to answer one question."

He is none other than the soul-refining sect's escape master brother! Almost all the scientific examination scholars in the county were found by him one by one in the past few days. Everyone asked the same question. In the end, he erased the memory of this matter and searched again in despair. one person.
